FauxMako's SCX10 Bug

[FauxMako]

So after looking around and around and not seeing much that did anything for me I saw Buxom Melons' thread and did some research and got to work.

Got an SCX-10 Dingo kit right after Christmas and went from there. Nothing fancy, pretty much all the Axial electronics that came out of my Wraith after I upgraded it ended up in the SCX-10.

Here's what I ended up with:







Bumpers are the new Rubicon front bumper, I got 2 of them off of eBay and put them front and rear. The mounting studs are slightly different that the ones that come with the Dingo kit, not sure why Axial would do that, but if you do buy a set of Rubicon bumpers, make sure you get the entire parts tree or you won't be able to mount them easily.

Tonight I decided to put the 4-link on the rear. Last outing the axle end of the 3-link pulled out a couple of times.

Here's a side view:




That seems like it's a little high in the front to me. Nothing binds through all axis rotation. Those are the shorter upper links and there isn't really any way to change their length. Should I put a few MM of spacers on the lower links to rotate the front of the axle down some? Or is it OK like that?

im not really sure why it would be a problem. wouldnt it being at less of an angle aid axle wrap also?

Got it out and about today and no problems with the axle.

I did get tired of seeing daylight through from one side of the body to the other so I made up some fender liners. Started with a vinyl folder and started cutting and using the existing screws to mount them up.







Not too bad for $1.49.
